Vetted Event-Driven Architecture Professionals

“Backend/data platform engineer with production experience at Walmart and Molina Healthcare, building Python microservices on AWS (EKS + Lambda) for real-time inventory and recommendation systems. Strong in reliability/observability and incident leadership, plus modernizing legacy healthcare workflows and building resilient AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”

“LLM/agentic systems practitioner who specializes in moving customer prototypes into production within microservices environments, emphasizing reliability, latency, security, and measurable success metrics. Experienced in real-time troubleshooting using logs/traces and in enabling adoption through hands-on developer workshops (including live coding in Java Spring Boot) and pre-sales POCs that address technical objections and integration risk.”

“Worked on onboarding a Middle East logistics client processing thousands of invoices/month, building a production-ready pipeline that routes known vendor PDFs to deterministic regex parsers via Tax ID matching and falls back to LlamaParse for unknown layouts. Added financial consistency validation plus human-in-the-loop review and logging/metrics to continuously reduce LLM usage and improve template coverage.”

“Backend/event-driven systems engineer who built an end-to-end “software robot” for AI-driven invoice processing: FastAPI ingestion + OCR integration + classification mapping, with strong emphasis on reliability (idempotency, retries) and scalability (background workers, event-driven architecture). Experienced in production-grade distributed systems tooling (Kafka, Docker/Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) and real-time debugging via tracing/telemetry, and expects $10k–$12k/month.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”

“Insurance-domain engineer with hands-on mainframe (CICS) + modern cloud (AWS) experience who built a life-insurance quoting service end-to-end, including JSON-to-mainframe middleware and REST APIs with detailed business error handling. Led a tax-form legacy modernization by moving disorganized mainframe extracts into an event-driven S3/Lambda/Python cleanup pipeline to reduce mainframe load and isolate failures.”

“Backend-focused engineer building customer support/order-tracking platforms with Java 17/Spring Boot microservices and a React/TypeScript frontend. Deep experience running event-driven systems on Kubernetes (Kafka, Redis, MySQL) with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Splunk), SLOs, and safe deployment practices (feature flags, canaries). Also built an internal monitoring/debugging dashboard that consolidated metrics and logs for on-call engineers and was adopted by other teams to speed incident response.”

“Backend engineer with deep experience building event-driven logistics systems (orders, warehouse execution, real-time delivery tracking) using Spring Boot/PostgreSQL/Redis and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana). Led a zero-downtime migration from monolithic MySQL to a sharded architecture for ~2M users with dual-write, checksum validation, and fast auto-rollback, and has strong security expertise including PostgreSQL RLS for multi-tenant SaaS and robust OAuth/JWT handling.”

“Backend/platform engineer focused on high-traffic financial systems, owning real-time event-driven ingestion and Kafka streaming pipelines using Python/FastAPI, Avro schemas, and AWS services. Has hands-on Kubernetes (EKS) and GitOps/CI-CD experience (ArgoCD/Jenkins) and supported large-scale migrations from legacy VMs to containerized microservices with zero/low-downtime cutovers.”

“Robotics software engineer who built the full control stack for a fleet of manufacturing/repair robots in Relativity Space R&D (perception, planning, motion control, integration, deployment). Has ROS/ROS 2 experience spanning custom SLAM (LiDAR+IMU), multi-robot coordination, and multi-drone control (Pixhawk 4, minimum-snap trajectories), with strong real-world debugging and simulation/CI testing practices (Gazebo, CI/CD, some Docker).”

“Backend/platform engineer who owned high-volume Java/Spring Boot microservices on AWS (Kafka + RDS/DynamoDB) and has hands-on experience debugging complex production latency incidents across DB, JVM/GC, and async consumers. Also shipped applied AI features for ops, including an LLM-powered log analysis assistant and an incident-response agent with strong safety guardrails (schema-validated tool use, retries/backoff, and human-in-the-loop escalation).”

“Bank of America engineer/product owner who built a real-time transaction insights and spending categorization platform using React/TypeScript and Spring Boot microservices with Kafka. Deep experience in event-driven architectures, performance tuning at peak banking loads, and reliability patterns (SLOs, observability, feature flags, DLQs). Also created an internal monitoring/alerting tool adopted across engineering and ops, cutting incident response time by 40%+.”

“Engineering leader with BCG consulting background who has built roadmaps and scaled AI and data platforms for pharma and manufacturing clients. Led architecture shifts (Django monolith to event-driven microservices) for high-volume IoT SaaS products, improving deployment speed and enabling zero-downtime releases. Also established a near-shore engineering team in São Paulo and has managed distributed teams across multiple countries, leveraging strong stakeholder communication and a prior professional acting background for storytelling.”

“Applied LLMs and a graph-RAG architecture in Neo4j to automate an accounting firm's cross-checking of transactional books against tax regulations, indexing 1,000+ pages into a knowledge graph with vector search. Combines agentic LLM workflows with classical NER (Hugging Face/NLTK) and validates using expert-labeled held-out data plus precision/recall and measured accountant time savings after deployment.”

“Engineering leader from Blackline who has repeatedly rescued and delivered high-visibility products by resetting roadmaps, tightening execution (better specs/estimation), and accelerating team velocity. Scaled a distributed org from ~20 to ~40 engineers by building a new India team with strong hiring rubrics and governance-as-code/SDLC consistency. Also modernized legacy systems into microservices (Kafka/Kubernetes/Apigee) and drove hackathon-to-production innovation using Google Vertex AI.”

“20-year technology builder with ~8 years in healthcare AI, currently at Keycentrix modernizing a legacy pharmacy solutions business. Shipped an OCR MVP within days and delivered a rebate-based product generating ~$50K/month, leveraging Claude/LangGraph agentic automation to replace work typically requiring a much larger engineering team. Developing a "Longevity AI Copilot" B2B platform that synthesizes research, labs, and wearable data into personalized longevity protocols for HNW and corporate wellness markets; concept validated but not yet incorporated or funded.”

“Data engineer who has owned end-to-end production pipelines ingesting ~500GB/day from APIs/databases/Kafka into an S3 data lake (Glue/Spark) with Airflow-orchestrated Great Expectations quality gates. Built resilient external data collection systems with idempotent jobs, exponential-backoff retries, raw data capture, and backfills; also shipped Snowflake-backed APIs with caching, versioned endpoints, and backward-compatible data contracts. Led an early-stage Azure data platform build with phased delivery and GitHub Actions CI/CD, resolving schema-mismatch incidents quickly without downstream corruption.”
